How to Fix a Broken Compact

Whether it's been dropped, unintentionally stepped on, or is nearing the end of its lifespan, a broken compact is messy business. I've had success giving these crumbly powders a quick fix with a tissue, and recently, I learned a new tip from Woman's World's Stephanie Prommer on Kathy Lee and Hoda. It's time to pick up the pieces.

Bellas, just so you know, you can't repair matte or very finely milled powders with just alcohol because there isn't anything to bind the minerals together. If you have matte/minerals/pigments, you'll have to use something like BioSilk, glycerin, or a MAC's mixing medium(sold in MAC pro stores).
